Summary
This report summarises the findings of the Snowmass Muon Collider Forum, a cross-frontier initiative established by the US particle physics community to evaluate the scientific and technical viability of a multi-TeV muon collider. The Forum conducted monthly meetings and topical workshops to assess physics potential, accelerator technology, and detector development needs. The document represents a community assessment rather than original experimental research, synthesising the consensus view of US particle physicists on the opportunities and challenges of muon collider technology.
UK applicability
This report addresses high-energy physics infrastructure and may be relevant to UK particle physicists considering international collaboration on future collider facilities, though it is primarily a US community assessment. UK physicists involved in detector R&D or accelerator technology may find technical findings relevant to parallel efforts.
Key measures
Not applicable — this is a forum report synthesising physics and engineering feasibility assessments rather than quantitative experimental measurements
Outcomes reported
The Muon Collider Forum summarised findings on the physics potential, accelerator technology requirements, and detector R&D needed for a multi-TeV muon collider facility. The report documents the Forum's work across physics, accelerator, and detector frontiers conducted between November 2020 and publication in 2024.
